The Graveyard Shift is a Centralian horror/science fiction anthology series created by writer Adora Sterling, who also serves as the show's presenter.

The series' framing device centers on the fictional Twilight Diner, where a fictionalized version of Adora Sterling is working an overnight shift as a waitress. Each episode begins with one or more customers entering the restaurant and engaging in casual conversation with Adora. Adora recalls a story related to the customer's current circumstances, introducing the episode's main segment. With few exceptions, the same actors play the diner's customers and the main characters of the main story.

The show is noted for its low budget, often making creative use of sets, props, and costumes from other productions, and sometimes filming on-location in public places like schools or train stations.

Stellar creator C. Madison Ravenswood began her career as a writer on The Graveyard Shift.
